The Mower To The Glow-worms Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG HIHJYe living lamps by whose dear light | A |
The nightingale does sit so late | B |
And studying all the summer night | A |
Her matchless songs does meditate | B |
- | |
Ye county comets that portend | C |
No war nor prince's funeral | D |
Shining unto no higher end | C |
Than to presage the grass's fall | E |
- | |
Ye glow worms whose officious flame | F |
To wand'ring mowers shows the way | G |
That in the night have lost their aim | F |
And after foolish fires do stray | G |
- | |
Your courteous lights in vain you waste | H |
Since Juliana here is come | I |
For she my mind hath so displac'd | H |
That I shall never find my home | J |
